E.H. Taylor Straight Rye Bourbon (750Ml)

Description

This Straight Rye Whiskey is not a bourbon, but it’s part of the famous E.H. Taylor, Jr. collection, which also includes several bourbons. It’s crafted at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, also known as the Old Fashioned Copper Distillery, a name that reflects its long heritage and craftsmanship. This whiskey follows the strict standards of the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, ensuring top quality and consistency. Bottled at exactly 100 proof (50% ABV), it meets all Bottled-in-Bond requirements and is aged for at least four years, even though the exact age isn’t listed.

Made only from rye and malted barley, with no corn, it stands out from most other Buffalo Trace rye whiskeys. The flavor strikes a perfect balance between sweetness and spice, sitting right between a bourbon and a traditional rye. The aroma opens with dried fruit, black pepper, fresh dill, and toasted oak, while the taste delivers layers of dark spices, light caramel, honey, and bold rye character. It finishes dry and oaky, leaving a warm, lingering spice.

Named after Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., a pioneer of modern bourbon laws, this whiskey comes in a vintage-style 750mL bottle and is prized by collectors for its limited availability and timeless design.
